I'll play.

In college, I worked in a hotel after school. This was in Texas. My husband was doing some research after he got his MS at the UofA Fairbanks. 

He came to my town to do some research for about a week. He asked me out to dinner and I had to drive since he didn't have a car. It was probably a bad idea in the first place - We had to drive to a nearby town since I got off at 10pm and everything was closed in our town. (Also - he was a stranger) The next night, we went out again, and he gave me some smooches. 

We stayed in touch via phone/video chat and I didn't see him again for 3 months. Then we would continue to date long-distance for a little over a year until we got married (a month after I graduated from college). 

We never lived in the same state until after we got married! LO was born right after our 3yr anniversary.

DH and I worked as waiters at the same restaurant. We instantly started hanging out and were inseparable since. I got pregnant with DD after we were together for 6 months, we were engaged for 11 months and got married on a golf course (he's a golfer), and we've been together for 2 years on April. Short, I know, but I can't imagine my life without him. I've never been so close to somebody - he's truely my best friend.

We met during Business School - we both got our MBAs.

We actually met 3x - but I'm horrible with remembering people... so every time, I was like "hi, nice to meet you".  It irked him to no end.

We got engaged a year and half after our final "meeting" and married 10 months after that.  The boys followed a little over 3 years later!

I met DH in high school. We were both 16. He had a girl friend at the time and I stole him from her. The rest is history. We've been together for 9 years, married for 4 1/2 and had DS 6 days before our 4 year wedding anniversary.

DH had just finished boot camp. I had just moved from California. He did a search on MySpace for new friends in the area & found my profile. We messages each other for a month then decided to meet. It was an instant attraction on both ends. We got engaged 8 months later in September 2007. We got married June 2008 and DS arrived a month after our 2 year wedding anniversary.

Can I play if "DH" is really just SO?

We met in though a study abroad class- Window on Wales. It was a small group of people (16, I think) so we were all close. I thought he was obnoxious, cocky, and weird. He thought I was young and naive. True on both counts. I was 18 and he was 22.

Fast forward a little over three years: we started dating on St. Patrick's day and got pregnant in September. Way too fast, but it has worked out well so far and I can't really imagine it any other way.

DH and I met at work.  I moved out to Ohio for grad school and after graduation I stuck around to get a job.  The girl who was supposed to train me got sick and asked DH to fill in for her.  We started hanging out then started dating a few weeks later.  After about 6 months I moved back to NH since I absolutely hated Toledo and hated being away from my family.  We dated long distance for 6 months then he quit his job and followed me out here.  I knew then that he was "the one".  A year later he proposed and 18 months after that we we married.  We're been married for 2 1/2 years and have been together 5 1/2 years.  Best 5 1/2 years of my life!

We met at a mutual family friends' annual get together.  We had both been going to this get together since we were little kids, but had never really talked before.  We sat by a bonfire drinking beer and getting to know each other all night.  We exchanged numbers and ended up going on a date a few weeks later.  It was history from there.  I was 19 and he was 22.

We met on an online dating site! We met on chemistry.com, it's a match.com subsidiary.  We both were divorced and tired of the dating scene.  We hit it off on our first date. We got engaged after five months of dating.  We had just sent out our save the dates for our wedding when we found out we were expecting! We had our wedding as planned on March 6, 2010, and Keagen was born on June 1! Thankfully we had discussed having kids before we had found out we were pg, we were going to start trying right after our wedding.  Now, we are expecting another baby, Aidan on July 5! We have only been together almost 3 years, but it feels like forever.  Best thing I ever did was sign up for that site, it was worth the money I paid to find my best friend and soulmate

Here is the short condensed version:

We met on a blind date (his parents live next to my sister). I didn't like him. Made excuses not to see him. Graduated college. Moved to Florida for a teaching job. Had an "all of a sudden" feeling that I didn't give him a good enough chance. E-mailed him in January asking him to go to dinner the next time I was home (which was March). Started talking on the phone every night starting in January. He asked me to be his girlfriend a week before I flew home (mind you we hadn't seen eachother in 1.5 years). I said yes. Went home and had a great time. We continued our long distance relationship. He flew down to FL in May to help me pack up my apt., and drive me back to NY. I moved in with him in October, and we were engaged in February.

Dh and his friends came into the bar I was working at and asked for a table (we were slow) and I said "You'll have to wait a minute. We are kinda packed" (I was being sarcastic) and DH said to his friends "Let's go. She's a smart a$$" I stopped them and my friend was their server. I got to talking to DH's friend and we all ended up at a bar later that night. DH and I didn't start dating until a month later when he ended up coming back into my bar and asked me to go bar hopping with him and his friend. We've been together 2.5 years, married for 9 months. DS arrived 6 weeks after our wedding. We had actually set our wedding date for 10-10-10 in Sept 09 but we got pregnant 6 weeks after moving into our brand new house so we had a court house wedding.

I was 20.  I had just gotten out of a 3 year relationship.  One of my bff?s and I went to a party about 2 hours away from where we lived at a friend?s house.  All I wanted to do was go out and have fun.  We were at this party and there was this guy there who was really good looking and funny.  We left our friend?s house in the morning and I told my girlfriend he was the man I was going to marry.  He and I ended up talking through AIM for a few months.  We lived 2.5hrs apart.  One weekend he asked me to come hang out.  So, I did.  He was unsure of getting in a relationship with me because he was 25 and I couldn?t even get into bars yet.

 

Well, we started dating.  Did the long distance thing for a year.  I moved down to live with him.  Now, we?re going to be celebrating 8 years together.  2 years married.  It?s crazy how things work out.  He?s my best friend.  I?m grateful everyday that fate brought us together the way that it did.

My Dh and I have been crossing paths since I was 2 and he was 5. We met then because my aunt worked for his grandfather. We met again when I was 16 and working at a place called Main Event and he was visiting friends who also worked there (he said I smiled "creepily" at him with my braces teeth).

We "officially" met working at Main Event entertainment several years later (he was between jobs and started working there too, I was in college). I had just gotten dumped and was trying to make my ex jealous and ended up falling for my "rebound" so to speak.

We got pregnant 8 months later, got better jobs, and got married when our first was 2 months old. We until after he was born to make sure we were getting married because we loved each other (not because of the baby). 

We have been married for 2 years now and been together almost 4 and are very happy!

I met my DF when I was 16 and working in a grocery store. It was 3rd day working there and he came through my line. I thought he was so hot and remember going home and calling my mom and telling her that that really hot dude came through my line. For the next two months, he would come in every Sunday and buy just a pack of gum or drink or something. Then he finally asked for my number. That day was a mess... I had my best friend yelling at me/calling me because I still had not even gotten his name, then he was nervous and kept asking for my number when I was going to write in on the receipt, so I kind of snapped at him lol. 

Anyways, after two years and both of us graduating high school, I moved 7.5hrs away from home so I could go to college and he moved with me. A year later we got engaged, then 2.5yrs later we got pregnant. 

 We knew we were going to have a long engagement, because we had to wait until I finished school for financial aid reasons. So **hopefully** in a couple months I will FINALLY be done and I can marry my baby daddy/man of my dreams lol!

Hahhaa- yeah, there wasn't much of a "selection" at our bar either!!  In upstate NY, not a lot of younger people line dance or 2-step, so it was fun to meet up with someone who did.  Our first dance was to "Trashy Women" ;-)

Short version:

DH and I met STREET RACING!!  It was 8 years ago...I was 18, he was 26.  In my hometown, the "cool" thing to do on the weekend is to go "cruising".  Which really just means drive around in circles.  My friend and I were doing this when we ran into a guy I graduated with 8 months earlier.  He asked if my friend and I would come hang out with him and his friends, we figured what the heck.  They decided to go street race so we tagged along.  This is when I was introduced to DH.  DH and another guy went to get lined up to race and...the cops show up.  DH left, (cop pulled in where everyone was standing and didn't see the 2 cars lined up to race) and I was in the group talking to the cops.  We were told to head home and we all ended up back at DH's house to watch a movie. 

DH and I had our first date 8 years ago today!! He proposed on Christmas 08 and we got married 8/1/09.
